Cardinal Mfg Open House 2014

November 19, 2014, Cardinal Mfg hosted an open house featuring Tom Wopat of "Dukes of Hazzard" fame. Tom met fans of all ages, autographed memorabilia, and donated half of his own proceeds to the Cardinal Manufacturing fundraising efforts. Additional raffles for numerous prizes helped raise money for tooling and equipment. Over 1,000 reportedly attended to support this tremendous project that prepares metalworking students for great careers in manufacturing.

Many teachers and administrators contact Cardinal Manufacturing each year to learn how to create a program like it in their districts. We will be holding a workshop on Thursday, October 11, 2018 to show you how we started and how we do things today.
